Feasibility Study
for Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Community Trust April 2020 Broch Field Feasibility Study Strathyre, Stirlingshire Broch Field Feasibility Study determined that the improvements to the landscape of the site, which can only be achieved through community ownership, would create an attractive Strathyre, Stirlingshire for BLS Community Trust and vibrant space which would balance with the additional burden of care required. These improvements would also have the potential to introduce additional use and income streams into the community. Summary The undertaking of a feasibility study to investigate potential for community ownership of the Broch Field, Strathyre, was awarded to Munro Landscape by the Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre (BLS) Community Trust. Community surveys, undertaken by BLS, confirmed a strong desire to take ownership of the field, which is utilised as a ‘village green’ for the local area and hosts regular community events. Key themes emanating from the survey results were taken forward to this study for assessment for viability. A concept proposals plans was produced to explore the potential for a reimagining of the current use of the field and enhancement of existing features. This was developed alongside investigations into the viability of each aspirational project and detailed costings breakdown. Overall conclusions from this study are that the Broch field is a much- needed community asset, with regular use and potential for sensitive, low- key community development. Expansion of the current facilities would support both local the community and visitors to the village and area. Implementation of landscaping improvements can be undertaken in conjunction with the introduction of facilities for the provision of a motorhome stopover, which would assist in supporting the ongoing costs of managing the site. -

Autumn Newsletter 2014
Aberdeen Hillwalking Club Autumn Newsletter 2014 Chairman’s Chat From the issue of this newsletter, we will be almost at the end of another club walking season. We have been fortunate with the weather this year, having experienced an excellent summer and hopefully the “batteries” are recharged before the onset of winter. Now is the time to start planning for next year’s walks and we welcome any suggestions to include in our future programme. Please send your suggestions to our secretary or pass them on to any committee member for consideration. I started thinking about this article while on a short break at our “bolt hole” at Boat of Garten where we enjoyed a quiet and restful few days (and also grandchildren free!) Speyside is an area we are familiar with and particularly enjoy and of course is an area we frequent for club outings. This year alone, we have had day outings through the Lairig Ghru, Glen Feshie, Nethybridge to Glenmore, and more recently walked part of the Dava Way from Dunphail to Grantown on Spey. Speyside appears to have its own microclimate, coupled with majestic scenery, wonderful forests, high hills and that magic effect of light and colour which in my view appears to be more intense as compared with that on Deeside or Donside. Having just finished reading Nan Shepherd’s iconic book “the Living Mountain”, an anthology of the Cairngorms, her writing echoes many of my thoughts about the pleasures of hillwalking and the sense of wellbeing achieved through this pastime. This book was written in the 1930’s, though not published until 1977, but her writings are as relevant today as they were those many years ago and follows a similar style and passion as that of John Muir, famed as the father of American conservation and founder of the American National Parks. -

Introduction the Speyside Way Runs from the Coast of the Moray Firth Through the Heart of Malt Whisky Country Towards the Foothills of the Cairngorms
Introduction The Speyside Way runs from the coast of the Moray Firth through the heart of malt whisky country towards the foothills of the Cairngorms. Generally it follows the valley of the River Spey upstream: this is Scotland’s second-longest river and certainly its most dynamic. It has created a haven for wildlife and threatened species: see pages 16-17. You pass through farms and villages full of local colour, glimpsing another way of life. The main spine of the Way runs for 85 miles (136 km) which most walkers will spread over six or seven days. Adding the optional Tomintoul spur (16 miles/25 km from Ballindalloch) brings it up to 101 miles/162 km and adds an extra day. This is one of Scotland’s Great Trails, waymarked throughout with the thistle-in-hexagon logo. It was launched in 1981 as a route from Spey Bay to Ballindalloch. By 2001, the route was extended to Buckie in the east and Aviemore in the south-west, with the Tomintoul spur added to the south. In 2009 an extension to Newtonmore was approved, but by 2015 the route had extended only by 6.4 miles to Kincraig. This edition has been published to celebrate the completion of the route to Newtonmore and its ofcial opening later in 2021. Following this long-distance route takes you through strands of Scotland’s history as you walk in the footsteps of drovers, soldiers and clansmen. Enjoy the heritage of railways that were built by Victorians, closed in the 1960s and later reopened to walkers and cyclists. -

TREADING WATER a Gentle Gurgling, the Play of Light, a Splash of Just-Glimpsed Wildlife
TREADING WATER A gentle gurgling, the play of light, a splash of just-glimpsed wildlife. There’s something special about walking by water and you don’t have to be an experienced hiker to enjoy it. Andrew McCloy rounds up the best waterway trails in Britain and finds, whether it be riverbank or canal towpath, there’s nothing like going with the flow. hether it’s a tinkling stream or meandering river, an unruffled canal or gentle navigation, walking beside water is enjoyable on so many counts. It’s relaxing and soothing, the dappled light on the water is Wpleasing to the eye, and the greenery and wildlife has a calming influence. In a practical sense too, waterside paths usually guide you on an easy and reliable route so you rarely have to worry about getting lost. It’s also a great place to see something unusual, even if it simply floats past. For city dwellers, waterways often provide an oasis of green and quiet. According to a study by British Waterways, the temperature by rivers and canals in urban areas can be as much as five degrees cooler than the town or city centre. A definite bonus during summer! But whether that’s scientifically correct or not, there’s no disputing the joy of a shady, tree-lined walk alongside a canal or river, perhaps stopping for a waterside picnic or visiting a quiet pub. And since over half the UK population lives within just 8km/5 miles of a river or canal, the simple pleasures of walking beside water are available to everyone.
